Hi Gchienna,
Yes, blueshell Active Tables (bAt) can be used with VB5 (or later) and Access2000 (or any other Access release). If you set the property atb.DisplayAll = True, the control will include all fields of your table or query automatically.
You can download bAt and test it! If you have any further questions, please don't hesitate to ask again!
Best regards,
Harry
